Nitto NT860 - a summer tire from a Japanese manufacturer, which is aimed at owners of passenger cars. It is distinguished by its high stability in turns, good traction characteristics, safety, and comfort while driving.
Features of the compound
Thanks to the company's own developments, some of which have been implemented in this model, the tire is characterized by uniform wear and reduced rolling resistance. In particular, these indicators were influenced by the presence of a certain percentage of special resins, silica, and natural rubber in the compound.
Tread characteristics
In this case, we are talking about an asymmetric tread pattern, which provides improved driving characteristics on both dry and wet road surfaces. On its inner part, there are a large number of small lamellas and medium channels. This factor contributes to the improvement of the flexibility properties of the elements, which directly affects the efficiency of noise reduction and driving comfort.
The blocks of F-shaped form give the tread its rigidity, which, in addition to resistance to deformation, also improves driving comfort.
As for the water drainage system, in addition to the numerous lamellas, it is represented by the rounded shape of the edge of the main channels. This factor contributes to the faster removal of moisture from the contact area, thereby preventing the aquaplaning effect.
The presence of a ribbed surface, located on the walls of numerous grooves, reduces resonant sounds during fast driving. This contributes to a reduction in sound effects and increases the comfort of movement.
In the shoulder area, there are also special holes that contribute to the uniform wear of the tread, especially when frequently accelerating and braking sharply.
Main features of Nitto NT860
